It looks like Brian is expecting some kind of normalization of the strings before they enter the function, e.g. convert to lowercase, remove extra whitespace, convert diacritics to regular letters, combinations of such normalizations, etc. Since both "word" and "possibilities" would have to be normalized, I think it's better to let the application deal with this efficiently than try to come up with a new function or add a normalize keyword function parameter. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39891> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
